Guideline Recommendation:

Recommends the use of intervention algorithms incorporating predefined triggers and targets based on viscoelastic hemostatic assay coagulation monitoring to guide individualized hemostatic intervention in the case of perioperative bleeding.

Guideline Recommendation:

Goal directed transfusion algorithms which incorporate point of care testing, such as with viscoelastic devices, are recommended to reduce periprocedural bleeding and transfusion in cardiac surgical patients.

If coagulopathy is suspected, obtain standard coagulation tests (e.g., INR, aPTT, fibrinogen concentration) or viscoelastic assays, if available, as well as platelet count.

Guideline Recommendation:

Recommends the early and repeated monitoring of hemostasis, using either a traditional laboratory determination such as prothrombin time (PT)/international normalised ratio (INR), Clauss fibrinogen level and platelet count and/or point-of-care (POC) PT/INR and/or a viscoelastic method.

Recommends that resuscitation measures be continued using a goal-directed strategy, guided by standard laboratory coagulation values and/or viscoelastic methods.

Guideline Recommendation:

An appropriate ICU-driven algorithm should be optimized to use blood components for goal-directed therapy.

  • Upon arrival in the ICU, baseline laboratory measures should be obtained and then repeated as needed or at least hourly: INR, aPTT, fibrinogen level, hemoglobin or hematocrit, platelet count, viscoelastic point-of-care testing (if available), ionized calcium, blood gas testing (including base deficit).
  • Once laboratory data are available, resuscitation should be goal directed based on the laboratory findings and clinical evidence of ongoing bleeding.

Clin Transplant. 2022;36:e14637.

View

Guideline Recommendation:

Viscoelastic testing (VET) has a strong advantage in characterizing the complex coagulopathy of liver disease over conventional coagulation tests, which is often poorly correlated with clinical bleeding and thrombotic complications. It is likely that VET-guided transfusion algorithms are associated with reductions in allogenic blood products. VET is highly unlikely to cause adverse outcomes or patient harm. The overall balance of costs and benefits favors VET-guided management by reductions in the use of allogeneic blood products.
